Chapter 193 Force Him to Marry
After drinking for a while, a loud "thud" echoed from the table as Ben angrily slammed his wine glass down.
Ben fought his way through battlefields, which was why he commanded respect without showing anger and emanated a strong sense of cold dominance. He was not a man of many words or smiles, and he said coldly, "Eat or leave!"
Lily quickly grabbed his arm, trying to smooth things over with a smile. "What are you talking about? Jacob seldom comes here. Who do you think you're snapping at? Do you think he's one of your new recruits?"
She then turned to Jacob and said with a smile, "Jacob, don't mind him. He's been in the military for so long and still thinks he's in the army after retiring."
Layla quickly added, "Dad, Jacob is usually very busy. He might have some work to handle. Please understand."
Ben used to view Jacob favorably, but ever since he found out that Avery was Jacob's ex-wife, he felt somewhat uncomfortable in his heart.
After all, they were in the same circle. Ben knew very well how many people Jacob had mobilized to find Avery and Ethan.
The men in the White family all had bad tempers. Ben directly said, "The child of you and Layla is no longer small. I asked you to marry her, but you insisted on getting engaged first. You not only keep putting off the engagement but still haven't gotten your marriage papers. Do you want to marry my daughter or not? Give me a clear answer today."
"Dad, don't be so fierce. We're all family. We can talk this out slowly."
"Yes, yes, calm down. Don't scare Jacob."
In this matter, Lily and Layla were on the same side.
Alberto, who had been silent, slammed his fork onto the table. "Enough of your womanly compassion. You two shut up!"
